Live-action Moana earns 90% audience score but faces box office bomb

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The live-action "Moana" adaptation has received a surprisingly high audience score of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, despite a low critic score of 34%. However, this positive audience reception has not translated into box office success, with the film projected to earn only $43 million domestically against a reported $250 million budget. This underperformance, contrasted with other Disney remakes like "Lilo & Stitch" and "Toy Story 5," suggests a potential miscalculation by Disney regarding audience appeal and the impact of negative critical reviews on their live-action adaptations.
